Exploring the Intersection of Race, Adoption, and Evangelical Culture Through a Studio Practice

Abstract

Media and media consumption is based on perception. Perception comes with biases that exist from upbringing, personal belief systems, and many other things. Exploring the intersections of those ideas is even more exciting. This document serves as an examination of religious upbringing, racial identity, and perceptions of the art world. Those topics create the work within my studio. My interest and my work exist within those intersections. This document will also be entered into the archive of an institution, J. Jack Halberstam dedicated their book Queer History, “To All of History’s Losers.” Archives do not record stories like mine, but this time it will.
